Of course, the ending that Lorne wanted to see the most was for him to take advantage of the chaos and escape, and then let Castev capture Athena alive.
But the current situation is too chaotic.
In addition to the pirates, a wizard force has emerged that hates both of them.
If Athena, the eldest daughter of the Stuart family, falls into the hands of a wizard, Lorne is not sure whether the other party will spare her life for the sake of her beauty.
For his own life, he must stay with the eldest lady until he is sure that Athena will not die.
Therefore, Lorne was quite dedicated when it came to dealing with the invading cavalry and ensuring that the pirates would not take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes.
It's just that there is obviously no way for more than fifty pirates to completely block more than two hundred cavalry, and a little trick like volley shooting is not a stunt to turn defeat into victory.
But there was only so much that Lorne could do, and fighting always relied on the balance of power between the two sides.
If you want to win without a battle of blood and flesh, according to Baron Fast's own experience, it is a complete fantasy.
Fortunately, compared to the Imperials like them, the wasteland pirates were more hated.
After a round of baptism with hand axes, only a small part of the nearly 200 cavalrymen were left to deal with Lorne and the others.
A small-scale battle cannot become a war at all.
In Lorne's opinion, it was the level of group fighting.
On their side, both Castev and Arnold are experts in this field.
What's more, with Athena as an assistant, after disrupting the cavalry charge, more than two hundred ordinary cavalry could not be their opponents.
But after all, he had four legs.
As soon as he realized something was wrong, the guy who was supposed to be the commander shouted a lot of indigenous words that Lorne couldn't understand, and the surviving indigenous people immediately started to scatter in all directions.
But they were not proud of their victory, because although the enemy had escaped this time, they were still on their territory, waiting to be found again next time.
What awaits them is no longer an ordinary group of cavalry.
The status of the empire and pirates is enough for the ruler here to send a real army.
Even an arrogant pirate king like Castev would not be so reckless if he wanted to rely on a team of less than a hundred people to fight against the local ruler.
Especially after losing more than a dozen brothers again after the battle, the Pirate King is no longer stronger than Athena.
Moreover, the battle ended too quickly.
Before Castev could even try his tricks, the enemy on the opposite side collapsed first.
Although this is inseparable from the fact that their wasteland warriors are really powerful, it can go so smoothly.
The studious Castev feels that Lorne's volley method has also reduced a lot of unnecessary losses for him.
It's just something that seems simple, but how to grasp the timing is the key.
Kastev has no shortage of powerful warriors, and a commander with war experience like Lorne is exactly what the Pirate King desperately needs.
But Lorne is the lord of the empire after all, and he knows that the wasteland is not as good as the empire.
The Castev pirates have a problem and start to think about whether to tie Lorne to the wasteland.
But how did the greedy pirate king know that Baron Fast's ambition was no less than his own?
Even if Castev gave up the king's position, Lorne would only consider it.
Tying him to the wasteland will only lead to the baptism of the Cyborg army.
The wasteland pirates are such a disgusting race, Lorne will definitely let Meatball transform them all.
As for now, before the Cyborg arrives, Baron Fast still needs the protection of this group of pirates.
Castev called him little brother again, and Lorne certainly didn't mind temporarily forgetting about this guy threatening him and seizing his weapons.
"Mr.
King, it is no longer safe here.
We plan to leave immediately.
I don't know what your opinion is."
Under Arnold's protection, Lorne reconnected with Castev.
Why ask a pirate's opinion?
Of course it's because Castev recognized the location.
Without the Pirate King's guidance, Lorne and the others would not even be sure which direction they should move in, let alone out of the territory of the wizard.
If any sailors survive, they may be able to use their poor Heretic Island dialect to figure out the location here.

It's a pity that the only ones who can survive to this day are the guards of the Stuart family.
It is obviously impossible for these arrogant guys to go to the trouble of learning any heretical language.
Not to mention Athena and the others, being able to tell the difference between the dialect of the Heretic Island and the wasteland language is already very impressive in Lorne's opinion.
Expecting them to communicate with the natives, Lorne felt that it would be more convenient to communicate with primitive gestures.
It's a pity that the natives of the Heretic Island seem to be very stubborn, and the few captives they captured couldn't produce anything useful at all.
In desperation, Athena had to send Lorne to contact the Pirate King.
Among them, only Baron Fast and the Pirate King had some friendship.
Of course, a guy with a bad record like Lorne must have some restrictions.
Arnold was not only protecting Lorne, but also preventing Baron Fast from falling off halfway.
But this time, not only do Lorne and Athena have the same interests, but Castev also needs to get to the Glory City as soon as possible.
The pirates in the wasteland are not hated by the entire Heretic Island.
At least Castev, who knew that he could not defeat Brilliant City, not only did not carry out his great robbery there, but on the contrary, pirates often disposed of their stolen goods in Brilliant City.
Kastev even has a special stronghold there, so once there, the Pirate King can fish into the sea again.
"Of course I have to leave this hellish place.
Our wasteland warriors are not very welcome here."
Pointing to the corpses on the ground, Castev said, "But how are you going to leave?
The ruler here is the one who plays with fire.
Wizard.
It's not a long way to get to Brilliant City.
If you don't have a boat, you even have to cross the border.
There are frequent battles there, and more than 20 people want to cross the border."
In fact, in Lorne's opinion, crossing the border is not that difficult as long as the direction is clear.
Because although the appearance of the people of their empire is somewhat different from that of the natives of the Heretic Island, as long as they put on local clothes and say nothing, they can still get away with it.
On the contrary, Castoff and his gang are in danger.
The appearance of the wasteland pirates is very eye-catching even in a crowd.
Without the boat, Castev and his gang would have been basically sentenced to death.
Lorne's plan is to extract the information he wants, and then use Castoff and his gang to draw the wizard's attention so that they can escape danger
